Chapter 342 Crisis Awareness
Luo Zhaoyun returned to the mansion and received a message at night, which shocked him, that was Xue Daoheng, who was sentenced to death in prison.
Luo Zhaoyun was a little confused when he heard this news, but this was consistent with history. Moreover, when he entered the palace today, he asked Princess Ruyi. Empress Xiao had not had time to intervene and plead for mercy because Emperor Yang of Sui was in a furious stage. However, a petition letter from the literati and doctors was sent to Yang Guang, which made Yang Guang add fuel to the fire and wait for him to vent.
Originally, Emperor Yang of Sui had already left Xue Daoheng's affairs behind his head, but was brought up by the old things again. He remembered a letter from Xue Daoheng, which was full of praise for the late emperor and advised him to follow the example and revitalize the Sui Dynasty. How could Yang Guang be willing to endure it? He felt that he had done much better than the late emperor and had achieved several unprecedented projects, which were something that the late emperor could not even imagine, but Yang Guang realized, so he felt that he was more courageous than the late emperor.
But now Emperor Yang of Sui has been in a bad mood now and is very angry. When he saw a literati writing a letter to plead for Xue Daoheng, he was angry and directly issued a decree and sentenced Xue Daoheng to death.
"This time, can you still write the poem "Empty Rail and Falling Yan Mud"?" Yang Guang sneered, and exclaimed a sigh of anger.
Some literati and doctors who wrote a letter together were also demoted by him and surrendered. Some people were investigated and punished, which made the literati in the capital frightened.
Luo Zhaoyun was shocked and thought to himself that I had not been involved, otherwise, the trouble would be great. The current Emperor Yang of Sui has changed his personality, is moody, and is arrogant, as if he is not as smart as him. If this continues, something will happen to him sooner or later, because his fame is too famous. If Yang Guang becomes jealous of talent and is used by Yuwen Shu, Pei Shiju and others, his fate will be very dangerous.
He sighed softly and had to prepare for both hands. To accompany the king is like a tiger. This time, the battle against Goryeo will have some danger regardless of success or failure.
Luo Zhaoyun sighed a little. It’s not that he didn’t want to help the Sui Dynasty and assist Emperor Yang of Sui to be a good emperor. However, Yang Guang was a little nervous, suspicious, had a change of mood and anger, had more slanderous ministers around him, and he didn’t listen to others’ advice and was arrogant. Such people, such as Jiang Shang, Guan Zhong, Le Yi, Kong Ming and other famous ministers, were useless to assist!
A mentality determines everything. If a king cannot listen to his ministers' advice and open up a broad range of opinions, he will only block himself and act alone. He has too much power. If he is not careful, he will easily cause turmoil in the dynasty!
Luo Zhaoyun shook his head and understood what it means to be powerless and difficult to reverse the trajectory of history.
"The only thing I can change is myself, which affects the fate of the people around me, and shakes the direction of history at critical moments, but some people are difficult for me to change, such as Yang Guang, Yuwen Shu, Yang Su, Li Mi and others. Their ideas are too straightforward and too self-centered, and it is difficult to listen to other people's opinions."
When they returned to the mansion, Luo Zhaoyun and Ning Muhe and Xiao Yiyi met, and told the two girls to prepare their luggage, perhaps, they would take them back to Zhuo County, and they would not come back in the short term.
"Young Master, is the Great Sui really going to go to war with Goguryeo?"
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said, "No, the summer is starting to transport troops, the war is about to begin in autumn, and the peacetime day is about to end."
Xiao Yiyi said strangely: "Can Goguryeo such a small Northeast country withstand hundreds of thousands of troops in the Sui Dynasty? It should not affect the lives of the people."
Luo Zhaoyun shook his head and said, "The current saint is already burdened by the reputation of the Saint Khan. He is like a demon, mobilizing troops to attack Goguryeo. Without any preparation, he marched into autumn. Once the war is unfavorable and he is in a stalemate, he will soon enter the cold winter. The bitter and cold place outside the pass comes early. Most of the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty are soldiers of the Central Plains. If they cannot withstand the severe cold there, many people may freeze to death, and they are very confident of winning."
Both of them were surprised when they heard this. In terms of military affairs, they were naturally far less likely to see it deeply.
"Without a young master commander, is there no chance of winning?" Ning Muhe asked.
Luo Zhaoyun smiled bitterly and said, "Don't think too much about me. What kind of invincible generals? In fact, my ability to lead the army is taught by Brother Li Jing, General Zhou Luohu, the old man, father, etc., plus military books, and my own adaptability. However, the war changes a lot. Every time I go to the battle, I repeatedly ponder the strategic plan. The so-called ever-win means planning more than the other party. There is no invincible general in the world? Who can think carefully, take the initiative, have sufficient weapons, equipment and food, and the three armies work together to win!"
The two women nodded and were not proficient in military affairs, but following Luo Zhaoyun's words, the Great Sui war against Goguryeo this time seemed to have fewer victories and fewer defeats.
"Pack up our things, and a few days later, we set off and head north to Youzhou and go back to our hometown to take a look."
A warm feeling surged in Ning Muhe's heart: "General Luo Yi will definitely be very happy that the young master will go back."
Luo Zhaoyun's face moved slightly and said, "Someone may not welcome me!"
"Young Master, do you mean Meng?" Ning Muhe asked tentatively.
Luo Zhaoyun said: "Yes, when I go back this time, it's time to settle the old accounts. I have found all the evidence you have collected in the past few years."
Ning Muhe replied: "Well, I'm a little surprised. I have controlled several maids and slaves whom Meng has used, and I can confirm the crime."
Luo Zhaoyun sighed: "Northern Youzhou is our base, and we must not let her have trouble there. More than twenty years have passed, she has murdered some people and it is time to repay the consequences."
"Does Luo Guild protect her?"
